Setting Up Manage Levels

Setting Up Manage Levels

Specify the manage level for an account definition for managing user accounts. The user account’s manage level specifies the extent of the employee’s properties that are inherited by the user account. This allows an employee to have several user accounts in one target system, for example:

  • Default user account that inherits all properties from the employee
  • Administrative user account that is associated to an employee but should not inherit the properties from the employee.

The One Identity Manager supplies a default configuration for manage levels:

  • Unmanaged

    User accounts with a manage level of "Unmanaged" become linked to an employee but do not inherit any other properties. When a new user account is added with this manage level and an employee is assigned, some of the employee's properties are transferred initially. If the employee properties are changed at a later date, the changes are not passed onto the user account.

  • Full managed

    User accounts with a manage level of "Full managed" inherit specific properties from the assigned employee.

NOTE: The manage levels "Full managed" and "Unmanaged" are evaluated in the templates. You can customize the supplied templates in the Designer.

You can define other manage levels depending on your requirements. You need to amend the templates to include manage level approaches.

Specify the effect of temporarily or permanently disabling, deleting or the security risk of an employee on its user accounts and group memberships for each manage level.

  • Employee user accounts can be locked when they are disabled, deleted or rated as a security risk so that permissions are immediately withdrawn. If the employee is reinstated at a later date, the user accounts are also reactivated.
  • You can also define group membership inheritance. Inheritance can be discontinued if desired when, for example, the employee’s user accounts are disabled and therefore cannot be members in groups. During this time, no inheritance processes should be calculated for this employee. Existing group memberships are deleted!
